Slippurinn: Recipes and Stories from Iceland — Gísli Matt
About the book
The debut book by rising chef Gísli Matt of Slippurinn restaurant, an internationally recognised gastronomic destination in Iceland's Vestmannaeyjar archipelago.
Chef Gísli Matt built Slippurinn with his family in a historic former shipyard building in a small town whose landscape was forever changed during the 1973 volcanic eruption. In this extraordinary setting, where plants grow on mountains formed from lava, Gísli has created a menu that simultaneously honours local tradition and pushes the boundaries of contemporary cuisine.
Today, Gísli is forging his own path in gastronomy. He has attracted the attention of the global culinary elite, including Ruth Reichl and Diana Henry, and his first book reflects a thorough exploration of traditional Icelandic dishes, aiming to preserve local culinary knowledge while applying a modern approach – creating a cuisine that delights both locals and food lovers worldwide.
The book takes the reader straight into the heart of his fascinating culinary world and island life. It is intended for lovers of Nordic culture, as well as anyone who appreciates excellent gastronomy.

How to choose the first Japanese knife?
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Japanese knife as a perfect gift
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
